Abstract: A switch system for rail-guided vehicle-based transport systems includes a turntable provided with a single straight rail and a single curved rail integral with said turntable, said turntable being rotatable about a rotating shaft, said rotating shaft being arranged such that it is shifted with respect to said straight rail and said curved rail. The switch system is simple and economical and prevents vehicles from stopping as they approach the switch system when the switch system changes its position, and allows the free passage of the vehicle, without the rails hindering the passage of the wheels of the vehicle.

Abstract: Transelevator for transporting loads, comprising two vertical columns that can move in a horizontal plane, with a substantially rectangular cross section, an elevator moving vertically between said columns for moving a load from or to a storage compartment on a shelving unit, transmission means for operating the elevator, and drive means for moving the transelevator horizontally, in which the elevator transmission means and the drive means for lifting and translational movement are supported on one of the vertical columns, such that the main stresses due to the weight of the elevator and the inertia of the translational movement are supported by the main vertical column, the cross section of said main vertical column being greater than the section of the auxiliary vertical column.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transelevator (1) for handling pallets, suitable for use in a system for storing goods or similar, said transelevator comprising a lower mobile frame (2) fixedly supporting a vertical lifting column (3) along which a pallet-removal device can move. The invention also relates to a pallet removal device for a transelevator, comprising: a lifting frame (20) provided with lifting wheels which travel along the length of guide means; a laterally mobile fixed frame (21); and a mobile carriage (22) capable of mobile in relation to the fixed frame (21) and including a fork (23) which can be moved laterally along axis Z by means of a lateral movement shaft (29) actuated by motor means and which can be rotated in plane X-Z by means of a rotation shaft (44) actuated by motor means.
